You might try uninstalling the kernel that fails to boot and then

erased the failed kernel and then installed it again, everything was n

Thank you, Jim
I tried that but unfortunately it didn't help. I only removed the kernel
proper (using pirut), not kernel-devel nor kernel-headers packages
(assuming they have little relevance to the problem at hand), and dl'd
the 2.6.22.1-27 kernel again. When installed and rebooted, the problems
persist just like before.
Maybe it's my hardware but it has worked with every kernel since FC4 as
I told earlier. Guess I'll stick to 2.6.21-1.3228.fc7 kernel for now.
I think the main packages for kernel are nash, mkinitrd and the grub
related packages. I have no idea if the kernel-headers could cause the
problem. The devel package would not matter for a booting kernel.
There i another posting on the list where a kernel panic was
encountered. I believe he posted messages containing uncompressing the
initrd and calls to nash which is a kernel environment shell if I
understand correctly.
Oh well, it was worth a try.
